The Writers Strike.



Above is a video explaining the reason why the Writers are currently striking over the pond. I completely agree with the strike as the writers are the heart and blood of all of our most loved TV and film, and yet can you name more than three screen writers you love without consulting IMDB? Compare this to other mediums such as music or literature where the writer is king and gets the fair cut that the original spark behind these brilliant ideas deserves. Meanwhile in the land of TV and film its a different story altogether. This video can explain much better then i can and also has all the statistics and the glossy production to be a much more enjoyable experience ... Enjoy!

Also below is a link to the main site of the strike at the writers guild of America website. Check it out.
